Abstract
Carrier selection for various sections of multimodal transportation becomes the key to maximize the efficiency and the profit in multimodal transportation. The complexity of carrier selection is analyzed and the limitations of existing method for carrier selection are discussed. Based on the selection process of carrier selection described in detail, an optimization model of carrier selection on genetic algorithms (GA) was proposed and an improved algorithm is presented. A typical simulation study is completed. Using the model and algorithm which is accurate and simple with high efficiency and can give all feasible solutions, the multimodal transportation operator can carry out carrier selection from all carrier combinations scientifically.
